Introduction
============

This section is geared towards authoritative DNS servers. For example, if you
had the domain name `domain.com`, you might have these name servers:

* `ns1.domain.com`
* `ns2.domain.com`

This is called an *authoritative-only* name server.

Authoritative name server setup
===============================

Debian and BIND are currently documented. Others (such as OpenBSD and NSD)
may be covered, in the future.

Debian (bind9)
------

Refer to [debian-bind.md](debian-bind.md)

Other name server daemons exist, but we will use bind.

DNS configuration
=================

This section will cover how to configure domain names, once your name server
software is up and running.

Bind (any distro)
-----------------

Refer to [zonefile-bind.md](zonefile-bind.md)
